第二节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 20 分）
In February 2006, I flew into Beijing from Shanghai to watch a performance by Iceland’s
Bjork and to interview her.
Some people find it difficult to 36 Bjork’s music. Her sound is an acquired taste, but
37 you get into it, you’re hooked. After the 38 press conference, I was 39 to a room
where we did a one-on-one 40 for radio. I was surprised at how intelligent and pleasant she
was. And fun.
The 41 at Worker’s Stadium was unbelievably wonderful. Barefoot for most of the show,
Bjork 42 the audience’s interest with her music and her spirit.
However, an incident gave me an impression that she was unusual and moody.
The next day I was invited to go to the Great Wall with a lot of 43 who were to take
pictures of Bjork. She was with her son and did not seem to be in the 44 for the
photographers. She stood and stared at the ground, not facing the 45 .
Then suddenly, she ran off to the 46 , out to her waiting bus, and sped back to Beijing. It
was strange to see since she had been so 47 with the press a few days before.
After leaving Beijing, she went on to perform in Hong Kong and Thailand. In a story that
48 around the world, she jumped on and attacked a female reporter at the Bangkok airport
who 49 said, “Welcome to Thailand!”
You may have seen her at the Academy Awards a few years ago when she 50 in that
usual swan costume, 51 perhaps her performance of Oceania at the opening ceremony of the
2004 Greece Olympics. Bjork does demand attention.
She’s 52 a new album, Volta. She challenges us to enter her own world with every
album, and this one is no 53 .
Working with a variety of producers, including Timbaland, she takes us into her music again
with an artistic 54 . It is 55 to digest, but if you can appreciate her unusual efforts, you
will have a lot to get into.
36. A. receive B. get C. hear D. accept

GUANGZHOU: The successful Guangdong International Tourism and Culture Festival has
become a perfect stage to showcase the popularity of Guangdong and Pan Pearl River Delta (PPRD)
region as a tourism destination, said Tang Bingquan, vice-governor of Guangdong Province.
According to the provincial tourism administration of Guangdong, more than 40,000 people
attended the opening ceremony of the festival. More than 1, 000 high-ranking officials from the
central government and Guangdong provincial government, World Tourism Organization,
consulates (领事馆) of various countries in Guangzhou, and other provinces of China, also showed
up in the ceremony. The activities in the past few days attracted a large number of visitors from
home and abroad.
In the past 30 years, Guangdong Province has been one of the leaders in the nation in terms of
economic development. Its average annual economic growth maintained a rate of 13.8 percent,
according to Tang.
Last year, Guangdong’s gross domestic product (GDP) hit 330 billion, accounting for

A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to
learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and
war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values
of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology. In addition, information about the
daily activities of our ancestors can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities
of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in
most history books.
In history books, objective (客观的) information about the political life of a country is
presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other
hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was
perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he
criticized the Spanish government for its abuse of power over people.
In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe,
religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious
buildings were filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible. Although most
people couldn’t read, they could still understand the Bible stories in the pictures on church walls. By
contrast (对比), one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its
absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are not holy.
63. Which of the following statements has the closest meaning to the underlined sentence?
A. General history only focuses on politics.a
B. Art history shows us nothing but the political values.
C. General history concerns only religious beliefs, emotions and psychology.
D.Art history gives us an insight (洞察力) into the essential qualities of a time and a place.
64. Art is subjective in that __________.
A. it can easily arouse people’s anger about their government
B. it only reflects people’s anger or sadness about social problems.
C. a personal and emotional view of history is presented through it.
D. artists were or are religious, who reflect only the religious aspect of the society.
65. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Francisco Goya expressed his religious belief in his painting.
B. In history books political views of people are entirely presented.
C. For centuries in Europe, painters had only painted on walls of churches.
D. In the Middle East, you can hardly find animal or human figures on church walls.
66. What’s the main topic of the passage?
A. The development of art history. B. What we can learn from art.
C. The influence of artists on art history.
D. The difference between general history and art history.
D
In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless
activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca
wants to spend her free time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a
writing contest, a competition she won last year.
As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what it is like to
work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip (退稿条) from the publisher. I also know the
pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win
the contest again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and
ruined hopes can surface.
A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again?”
“No”, she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”
I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. Telling
myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered
suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel
starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination
taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.
Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very
little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I
was co-opting (借用) my daughter’s experience.
While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly
follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help
if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and
find their own voices.
67. What do we learn form the first paragraph?
A. Now too many entertainments take up too much time.
B. Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities.
C. Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her free time.
D. Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing.
68. What did the author say about her own writing experience?
A. She was constantly under pressure of writing more.
B. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.
C. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.
D. Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations.
69. Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contest?
A. She had won a prize in the previous contest.
B. She wanted to share her stories with readers.
C. She was sure of winning with her mother’s help.
D. She believed she possessed real talent for writing.
70. What’s the author’s advice for parents?
A. Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions.
B. Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in.
C. Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience.
D. A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue.

Traveling on the Information Superhighway
In the early 1990s, few people outside of governments and universities had ever heard the
term internet. The World Wide Web was in its infancy（初期）, Back then if you said to someone,
“Send me an e-mail with directions to your house.” All you would have received is a puzzled look .
Technology has come a long way since those days. Today, the Internet connects millions of
computers around the globe, making a worldwide exchange of information possible.
The Internet is often called the “information superhighway.” That’s because vast amounts of
information travel over it. If you searched the word grasshopper, for instance, you would have
thousands of sites to look at. Some sites would give information on these insects. Other sites would
be companies with “grasshopper” in their names. Still other sites might want to sell you books
about grasshoppers.
In addition to information, the Internet also offers one of the greatest inventions in
communications, electronic mail, or e-mail for short. E-mail is the brainchild of a shrewd（精明的）
man named Ray Tomlison. He developed the program and sent himself the first e-mail in 1974. He
isn’t sure, but he thinks his first message was QWERTYUIOP （ the top row of letters on a
key-board ） . As a result of Tomlinson’s invention of e-mail, the way in which the world
communicates has changed.
Thanks to e-mail, you can communicate with a student in London and find out how his
weather experiment is going. E-mail has also changed the speed with which we exchange
information. In minutes, you can contact another person who shares your love of kites or stamps.
Your aunt and uncle can send you pictures of their new puppy without ever leaving their home. If
you are sick and can’t attend school, your teacher can e-mail you the assignments you have missed.
You can even send e-mail to a grasshopper expert and ask questions for a research paper.
However, there is one big disadvantages when you use e-mail. Unlike a letter you send
through the mail, e-mail is NOT private. It can be reviewed by anyone with access to your
receiver’s computer. Your receiver could also forward it to other people—so be careful. Do not say
anything in an e-mail that you wouldn’t say in front of crowd!

Nowadays the government and people of China are trying
to build a country with a harmonious relationship. Generally
speaking, the relationship between us students and classmates
as well as teachers is good. However, there exist some problems:
some students in our grade easily lose their temper because of
anxiety and study burden. What's worse, they sometimes
quarrel with others, and even turn a deaf ear to their parents and
teachers, which is very disappointing.
In my opinion, we middle school students should make
effort to improve the situation. First, we should respect our
parents and teachers as well as classmates. Second, when we
are not feeling good or happy, we can chat with our friends or
even parents. It is likely that they can understand us better and
give us some reasonable advice. Third, after a day's hard work,
we can relax by exercising , such as playing basketball, table
tennis and so on.
